It Is probable that ere Ion?;, sewing'
machines will lie cheap enough for even
the poorest families lo possess one. The
refusal ot the House committee to extend
the patent on sewing machines is a move
in the right direction, and in ihe interest of
ii... L.i.in.. ...,1 fif thn ronntrv. It
V 1 1 C. tamruil I - -1 v. v - j m
will h.-LVp the eihft to reduce the price of
sewing machines Irom their present ex
orbitant rate as low as $20. Il is in evi
dence that the cost of the average sewing
machine is but $12, and that small manu
facturers are required to pay the sewing
machine combination as much as $10 protit
on each machine manufactured. It is also
a curious fact that Wheeler & Wilson's
sewing machine can be purchased in
Europe and brought to this country for
just one-half of the price they cost here,
including all co6ts ot duty, freight, Ac,
Ihe reason lieing that they have no pro
tection there, any one leing allowed to
make thenL The enormous amount of
money already made by the several com
panies ought to satisfy them. At all
events. Congress is determined that the
people have a chance. IHtttburrh Gaietle,
Yesterday morning a barn bunlcd
down at Millvale, east of Pittsburgh, and
thirty-six horses in the stable attached
thereto were consumed in the flames, be
sides filteen tons of hay, five tons of straw,
and a quantity of feed" etc., stored in the
liarn. This property was owned by a
gentleman named Dcmpsey. w ho used the
horses in doing hauling for Graff. Bennett
& Co.'s Rolling mill, and it is said they
were the finest draught horses in Western
Ponnnvlrnnia. There were fortV-five
head in the stab'.e. but the owner and his !
sons succeeded in rescuing nine. The
building burned so rapidly that those re
maining could not be saved. One of the
horses cunsumed was the property of Mr.
Graff; a Kentucky trotter valued at $5,
000. The loss sustained by Mr. Dempsey
alone will fool up $20,000, upon which
there is an insurance of 7,5ow. Owing
to the extreme cold the water in Ihe pumps
of the lire engine froze, and the steamer
ms rendered useless. It is not known
how the fire originated, allhough it is
thought to have resulted from ihe careless
ness of one of the drivers w ho had been
at the stable feediug and harnessing.
Look to Yot r S:iewai.k3. Judge
Gordon, the Supreme Court of this State,
decided at Erie, recently, that a municipal
corporation is responsible for damage to
pedestrians injured in consequence ol the
accumulation of ice and snow on sidewalks.
We look upon this as a most righteous
decision. It is certainly the duty ot a
municipality, through its chosen officials,
to protect the property and lives of its
citizens to the fullest possible extent.
Old fire-traps, slippery pavements, and
other things that endanger lite und prop
erty should receive cstial attention at
the hands of municipal authorities. It is
but a small matter tor each individual to
sweep In-fore his own door and keep his
own pavement clean. Anil there is no
telling how many accidents to life and
limit you may prevent bv attending to Ibis
small and sin'ipl. duiy. The recent decision
of the tribunal in this commonwealth
makes it incumbent upon the municipal
power to sec that this matter of keeping
the sidewalks clear for pedestrians is
property attended to, it city and borough
authorities do not desire to be mulcted into
considerable sums of money for damages
in case of accidents on account of neglect
ed pavements. Keep your sidewalks
clean '.
The Old Story. It really Eetms that
the numeruus exposures published from
time to time iu regard to patent right swin
dles fail to put our people, particularly
farmers, on their guard. On tho2Gthof
September last a chap calling himself
Frank B. Gates obtained from Samuel
Ganlz. of Amwcll township, a promissory
note for $750 for certain w indmill territo
ry alleged to be held by him. Gates (who
il was subsequently ascertained passed un
del several aliases, one being Frank Blinn)
very shortly afterward had the note dis
counted at the Washington Savings Bank.
On bein; notified of this, Gantz made sat
isfactory arrangements for pavment, and
at the same time became convinced that he
had been made the subject of a huge swin
dle. He at once made ellorts to overhaul
Gates, and notwithstanding traces were
obtained of him in the State of Ohio, and
that these tract were vigorously followed
up by John H. Little, ot the Fulton House
(who proffered assistance to Gantz.) no re
liable information was obtained until Mon
day last, when Mr. Little received a dis
patch from Waynesburg to the effect that a
man answering the description was then in
that place. Mr. Liltle at once repaired
there and found his man, who was taken
into custody and brought here Ihe next
rfav. He w aived a hearing and was com
mitted by Justice Donchoo to await trial
for false pretense. The result will be
awaited with interest. Vithinstoa He

Death op JosEra F. Lot. This whole
community was shocked on Saturday morn
ing, January i."J, to hear ot tlie sudden
death, at aliout midnight of the nighl pre
vious, of Joseph F. Loy, Esq. Mr. Loy
had Wn ailiug for a lew das previous,
but it wa not suspected that he was so
uearhistn.l. He was about 50yetisold,
was a native of Bedford County. Pa., and
w as an old resident of this county. He
came here in about the year 1850, and en
gaged in the practice of law at Depere,
and afterward removed to this city. In
1855-50 he represented this district in the
State Legislature. In lfetil he received a
Captain's commission, organized a compa
ny of soldiers, w h:ch was incorporated into
the Fourth Wisconsin Regiment as Com
pany K., and served in the war against the
rebellion. In 18G3 he resigned at Baton
Rouge, and returned home, where he has
since practiced his profession. He was a
shrewd lawyer and has hid a good prac
tice. His impulses were w arm and gener
ous anl his faults wcr; tempered by m my
virtues. He was a brother of the late Da
vid M. Loy, of Depere. He leaves a wife
and three children to mourn his loss.
His funeral, on Sunday, was very large
ly attended by the nienvcrs of the "liar, his
(iirmer comiwnions in arms, and citizens
generally. Gnen Buy Wieomn) Ad
tor alt.
Resolutions of respect and condolence
were passed by the Brown County bar, and
the surviving members of Captain Loy'
Company.
Captain Loy resided in Somerset for sev
eral vears. lie read law in the office of
the fate Joshua F. Cox, and was admitted
to the Iwr. He married Miss Adeline Pat
ton, of this town, and some twenty-four
years ago made Brown County, Wiscon
sin, bis home. Our older citizens all rt
niemlier him as a man of ability, a genial,
whole-souled gentleman.
Yesterday morning an accident occur
red at the "New Detmold" mineot the
Maryland Coal Company, two or three
miles west of Lonaconing, that was more
terrible in its results than any we have
been called upon to chronicle for many
months. Like all the mines along George's
creek, the entrance to this one is tar up
the mountain side, and coal is loaded there
and sent down an inclined railway, to the
"dump house" at the railroad track, the
w eight of the descending cars pulling the
empty ones up the "plane. As at the
other mines, the miners and others are in
the habit of riding up and down between
the "dump touse'' and the mint? entrance
upon the cars.
Yesterday mornlnc; two men and three
boys got on two ol the loaded cars to ride
to 'the l.Kt of ;he incline, but before the
car started two ot tbe lads, wnose names!
we did not learn, rot off the car and de
cided to walk down the mountain, advising
their companions to do the same. They
declined to do so. however, saving that
they preferred to ride, and in a few min
iites the cars started on their downward
journey. When a short distance from the
starting point the drum at the top or tne
incline, over which the wire rope hauling
the cars is run, broke or gave way, and
the two cars with their coal and living
freight dashed over the rails at lightning
speed, which the terrified passengers knew
must in a tew moments terminate in de
struction and death. With thisprospect
before them it is not to be wondered that
on nearing the foot of the incline, w hi'-h
is upon high trcsuings. that one ot ibe
men named Martin Sexton and a lad. son
of Mr. William Douglas, sprang off ihe
car. Mr. Svxton was nurieu over tne
trest'.ing to the ground, and -vas shortly
aiU-rwanl picked up insensible and serious
ly injured. Young Douglas remained upon
liic trestling, but was badly hurt. The
cars then dashed into and through the
dump house, and the other occupant of the
car, Mr. Wm. Beanian, was thrown into
the chute, and instantly killed, his throat
bavtng been CUt by an fr-Ve uf the iron
chute, and hi body terribly bruised.
Mr. Sexum and voun DobcU were !
alive saat evening, but il i feared that tbe
injuries of the former yrill proTelatal.

We understand a number of substantial
improvement a,- proposed in and around
this place the coming season.
A .very common remark among the
rwot In hereabouts last week wa that it
was the coldest weather known within
the recollectio n of the oldest inhabitant.
Decidedly the best opening in the
county is offered here, to a blacksmith.
Chance open foronly a short time ; loca
tion good and rent moderate.
A srMBER of revival meetings have
teen held here and in the sorrounding
community during the present winter,
and in a number r instance the efforts
put forth to build up the kingdom of Zion
proved abundantly successful.
Silas J.'Coter. Esq, who purchased
the stock of merchandise and fixtures ot
Kiernan i Earl has taken possession of
the same, and is doing a very fine business.
The Messrs Ream, the new blacksmiths
who recently come to our town, are meet
ing wi'h good success. These men come
to us w-ell recommended and are entitlel
o a full share ol the public patronage.
The school at this place is progressing
finely under the careful management of
Prop. II. II. Heckman. He seems to give
entire satisfaction to both parents and
pupils.
Captain Bowman, of Stoystown, and
Captain Harrison, of Someiset, paid our
town a flying visit last week, the first one
for several years. Come again, gentlemen.
At the conference of the V. B. Church,
held at Johustown, a few week ago. it
was decided to return Rev. Bieghel to his
work again tor the ensuing year. This
gives general satisfaction to the people of
his church in this community, who hope
his ministerial labors the pns.-nt year
may be pleasant and profitable to the pas
ter and the people.
Levi Whitf.zf.l. a blacksmith of this
place, who left some time ago with
the intention of visiting Johnstown and
Pittsburgh for the purpose of replenishing
his stock, and for some weeks thereafter
no clue could be obtained ot his where
abouts, has leen heard from, having turn
ed up in West Virginia. No reason is
assigned for his mysterious disappearance.
A SLEic.HiXG party from Johnstown,
with some of the finest " turnouts" we
have seen fo some time, visited our place
on Thursday last.
